Me

by PoeticSoul   Aug 30, 2008


When I look at myself I feel so ugly
And I wonder what everyone else see's in me.
It's so hard to smile and be happy
With my low self esteem.

My boyfriend says I'm beautiful but its so hard to believe
Because when I look in the mirror beauty isn't what I see
I see a women with many flaws
A women that once was skinny and tall
And now only plays the role of a mother
21 years old yet looks so much older.

There's the love handles I try to constantly hide,
The life that has taken me on a bumpy ride,
The beauty I pray for and never receive,
And the crooked teeth that are so embarrassing.

I know I'm very beautiful on the inside
But I want that flawless beauty that I've strived for on the outside.

    Ah hun, I know how you feel. I suffered from anorexia and am still fighting a battle with bulimia, despite what people say you always feel the total opposite but from looking at your profile picture you have got a beautiful face and stunning features!!!! we all have flaws but everyone is beautiful in their own way. You are way more than just a mother and don't let anyone ever tell you any different. You're a beautiful person on the inside and the outside and need to realize that!!!
